anyone feel like me - a part time mother?
sigh.
Yesterday my son asked - Aatha, are you going to work? Don't go aatha, I need you.
My daughter, baby daughter, she cried as my helper pried her away from me to put her to bed
While I feel so loved, I also feel bad
This morning, I overheard the hubby singing I love you, You love me to my son in the morning, as I was getting ready in the shower - I want to be there to sing that to him too!
and what about daughter no 1? I feel I am neglecting her. I do.
I barely even hug her now when we sleep - coz baby keeps me by her side.
She is always so happy to be away from me, it hurts sometimes and yet I cannot blame her
today, she was reluctant to drink her milk - a regular morning feature - and I was getting snappy with her, telling her not to make an issue of an every morning deal - just get up, brush teeth and drink milk - don't make it as issue - not helpful. she cried. then along comes the hero hubby, the one who sings barney songs to the son in the morning, and cajoles her to drink by faking astonishment at how fast she can drink the milk,and voila, its done! she's drunk it in a blink of an eye, to a round of applause from the hubby, who even ropes in younger brother as part of the cheerleader squad.
Then she comes to me with pained expression and whiney voice - I feel sick aatha, I always feel sick when I drink the milk so fast
so I invite the whines, is that it?
anyways.. daddy is the good parent, I'm the bad part time parent :p
